We are a small group of local Jewish organizers working to end the genocide Israel is committing against Palestinians and to see justice and freedom. We are seeking artists and crafters in all mediums to contribute items for an art and crafts fair which would benefit displaced Gazans directly using the platform GazaFunds.com.

GazaFunds was launched by Palestinian organizers living in the U.S. to collect and amplify individual online fundraisers posted by families in Gaza. All of the fundraisers are vetted by the GazaFunds organizers, who ensure that the posts are legitimate and the funds go directly to Palestinians in need. The organizers also make sure to shift their featured fundraisers so families getting less traction are made more visible each week. We support this platform because we know it to be Palestinian-operated and because it has no overhead cost: as it is volunteer run, all contributions go directly to the crowdfunding campaigns of families who want to leave embattled Gaza or find the means to rebuild in their homes.

All proceeds from the fair will go to families in Gaza using the GazaFunds platform. As Jewish artists organizing for justice in Palestine, we look forward to putting creative energy towards opening conversations and bringing aid to families. The craft fair will showcase art donated by artists from our group, our friends, and other community members, creating an opportunity to spotlight local artists who want to contribute to this cause. 

Patrons donate to GazaFunds campaigns at the event, with donation tiers corresponding to tables of jewelry, ceramics, illustrations, and more that can be taken home. The event will be social and interactive, with a raffle, food, and music. The event will take place on Sunday, December 13, 2026 from 12:00pm – 4:00pm. The venue is ArtRage Gallery (505 Hawley Avenue, Syracuse, NY 13203  (between N. Crouse Ave and Lodi Street)).
